## Għaliex tinegoċja

```text
✓ Negotiation is EXPECTED → most initial offers have room; employers often expect it
✓ Significant IMPACT → even a modest increase compounds over your career (and future offers
  often anchor on current comp)
✓ Not negotiating often leaves money on the table → it's normal and professional to negotiate
→ Negotiating respectfully rarely rescinds an offer (a common fear); it's expected.

```text
✓ RESEARCH market rates → for the role, level, location, and company (Levels.fyi, Glassdoor,
  Blind, salary surveys) → know your worth
✓ Know your NUMBER (target + minimum) and your value (skills, experience, competing offers)
✓ Understand TOTAL COMPENSATION → base salary, bonus, EQUITY/stock, benefits, retirement,
  perks (evaluate the whole package, not just base)
✓ Have leverage if possible (competing offers strengthen your position)
```

## Negozjazzjoni effettiva

```text
✓ Be PROFESSIONAL and positive (collaborative, not adversarial); express enthusiasm for
  the role while negotiating
✓ Let them make the first offer if possible; don't lowball yourself early
✓ Justify with VALUE and market data (not just "I want more")

✓ Be respectful → you'll work with these people
```
